New fishery manager Brian Curran has been in touch to say that he landed the first salmon of the season off Costello this morning.
The fish weighed 8lbs 11oz, and took a size 10 Munro Killer.
Brian reports that water levels are good currently, and have been steady for the past few weeks with almost daily showers. While there have been cold winds, the frequent rain has kept water levels at a very fishable level and we expect more spring fish to enter the fishery with the high tides this week.
